I think I found it in a comment in the source code:
$ git rev-parse --short HEAD
214865e
$ sed -n '321,323p;323q' src/implicit.c
/* Rules that can match any filename and are not terminal
are ignored if we're recursing, so that they cannot be
intermediate files. */
Shouldn't this be explicit in the documentation? Is it?
